When it comes to matchups between cornerbacks and wide receivers during Tennessee Titans training camp, there’s going to be a whole lot of iron sharpening iron in 2024.
The Titans added to their receivers room with the signing of Calvin Ridley, who joins the team’s No. 1 receiver, DeAndre Hopkins. On the other side of the ball, Tennessee inked Chidobe Awuzie and traded for L’Jarius Sneed to massively upgrade their secondary.
During a recent interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Sneed shared his excitement at the prospect of going against Ridley and Hopkins in practice because both can help him improve his game.
“To get out there and work with them elite wide receivers, I never had two elite guys like them, going up against them every day,” Sneed said. “I had great players, but them two guys, household names, they stick out. I can’t wait to get to work with those guys.
“I know they’re gonna make me better in practice, and I can’t wait to pick both of their brains on how to get better. What they see. What my weakness is from their eyes and not from other guys I’ve been playing with for four years. I want new guys looking from the outside in.”

Sneed also mentioned how he wasn’t happy about getting the franchise tag from the Kansas City Chiefs but he’s thrilled about going to Tennessee because the Titans wanted him.
